Chapter Fifteen ★ Bond

“Halt.” Said a female voice not too far behind me. I whirled around to see a woman with rich red hair bound up into a tight bun with strays that draped down like new corn silk. Her bewitching green eyes pinned me in place.

The red that fringed my vision grew more and threatened to make everything into red. My hands clenched and unclenched as I stared right back at her. Her long taloned finger pointed right back warning of an impending spell.

Her dark lips scowled then peeled away as she called out, “It is alright, my prettys. I have the beast snared.”

I tried to twist my head around but she snapped my head back to stare right at her. She waggled her other finger and tsked, “Naughty little fish. Eating my precious darlings. Very naughty indeed.”

More red crept into my vision. How dare she call me a fish. I’m a mermaid dang it. Well were-shark but I ain’t no fish.

From the dark corners of the shack several of her precious creatures crept into the light. Her powers held me in place which prevented my inner predator from having a hay day. She wiggled her pointed finger and the bindings got tighter pinning my arms to my sides.

The crocodile and alligator men wandered past and over to the witch. There were at least a dozen of them. The shark growled in protest as they continued to pass me.

I glanced at the witch who caressed each of her creations with a motherly touch. She must be the head witch but I have no idea who. Wish I had time to do better research.

Her green eyes scanned me from head to toe as a wry smile crept onto her lips. She reached out to one of the crocodile men and grabbed his shoulder. She bent down and whispered. He glanced back at me then at her and nodded.

He signaled to the rest of the men and they ran off. The witch and I watched as they left until they were gone. She still faced away from me but wound her finger again and I let out a shuttered breath.

Trying to breath in again the bonds got tighter. Sharp pains sliced into my arms and I screamed out in pain. She continued to smile but then turned her finger slightly in the other direction.

I could breath a little bit again and fell to my knees. High heels sounded on the wood deck before I felt a tender finger pull under my chin. My eyes refocused with the still red vision of my surroundings as I lifted my head.

The shark side of me still wanted to fight however I knew that struggling would only make things worse. It was best to surrender to her… at least for now.

She flashed a toothy grin down at me then said, “Now that I have you, my plans can now be put into action.”
